Deborah Cox comes from a small, conservative town in the South. Growing up, she sensed that many women of her parents' generation were "infinitely furious," stockpiling their grievances like canned vegetables.

It is good for us because it PROTECTS us from threat, IT REMINDS US THAT WE HAVE POWER to overcome obstacles, and it gives us a MEASURE of how important it is for us to get what we want.

HOW IT WORKS Whenever we are blocked from something we want, a part of our energy goes into feeling anger.

It can range from intense anger at being blocked from something important (like life itself) to minimal anger at small blocks over slight wants.
